CGG announces the launch by Sercel of the world’s first Vibrator Auto-Guidance solution, designed to increase vibroseis productivity by up to 10%. The solution can be fitted to all Sercel Nomad seismic vibrator trucks and works by optimizing a truck’s travel time to the next vibrating point (VP) and reducing baseplate dead time. This provides an increase in source efficiency and consequently a cost saving for acquisition.

Pascal Rouiller, CEO of Sercel, said: “The launch of our new Auto-Guidance system brings additional value to our Nomad vibrator truck users. As well as boosting productivity and data quality, there are related HSE benefits, such as reduced operator fatigue, improved comfort and ergonomics.”
